Cambridge - Boston
Ther [Thermometer] Saturday, Aug. 22, 1914 [August 22, 1914] Wea [Weather]
Fine.
Clear & agreeably warm with
light westerly wind.
  The migrant Warblers must have 
passed on last night for none were
to be seen or heard there to-day. Nor
were there many birds of any kind.
Indeed I noted only a Goldfinch,
an Oriole and two or three Robins.
  Spent an hour in Museum after
breakfast and then went to Boston
where I remained in our office from
10.30 to 12 when I called at
Steinert's to get some new Victor records
& at the little furnishing goods store to
lay in a fresh stock of outing shirts,
under clothes etc. of which I bought
upwards of $23. worth. Dined at
Youngs & got home at 2.30.
After playing some of the records I
wrote several letters and compiled
another page for the Downy W. [Downy Woodpecker] story,
Victrola music & reading of war news
occupied us through the evening.
